The remaining 30% is evaluated on your academics, GD&PI.

The student council body conducts different indoor and outdoor sporting events, involving students from different colleges. Owing to the pandemic, we have been provided with remote access to the library and other databases.
Interview Experience :
My Group discussion topic was the effect of plagiarism by top professionals on society. All group discussions are conducted through a case study, which is generally a half pager. The first 5 mins are for reading the case, the next 10 mins for general discussion followed by a conclusion time of 2 mins. Interview experiences are different for different people, for many, it's a general interview, mostly revolves around the work experiences incase of a working professional and academic centric for freshers. Having general awareness can help in the interview process. Reading business newspapers can help to prepare for the interviews.
